That air dam looks great! Hopefully you see some gains from it.

I think your suspicion about the AirTabs is right: FYI, I did an A-B-A test with them on the top & sides of a minivan, and saw zero difference (however was able to detect change from a cardboard semi-kammback, and see the effect of removing the roof racks). I haven't posted the details yet.
